+Getting started
+---------------
+
+The parallax node supports adding nodes that render things as children, so you can use one or many nodes to make up each
+layer. To begin, place each node or nodes you want to have scroll independently as a child of their own parallax node.
+Make sure that the top left of the textures used are at the ``(0, 0)`` crossing, like in the image below. See the section
+on :ref:`positioning <doc_2d_parallax_positioning>` for why this is important.

+The scene above uses one prepared texture for the higher clouds in a :ref:`Sprite2D <class_sprite2d>`, but you could
+just as easily use multiple nodes spaced out to compose the layer.

 Scroll scale

 when scrolling, use a value lower than 1, with 0 bringing it to a complete stop. If you want something to appear closer
 to the camera, use a value higher than 1, making it scroll faster.
